Congrats to Knicks and all their fans. Congrats memes. Congrats, Zach. Way to go. To nothing going back to the Mecca, back to New York. It's gonna be a movie Monday night. It's gonna be insane. I actually do believe that. It's rare that there's a game that you're like hype for when you have no rooting interests, and I am hype for what the New York Knicks in the NBA finals are gonna look like at MSG. I think it's gonna be absolutely nuts. The crowd is gonna be nuts. The president's gonna be there, which by the way, that part does suck that no one can do. I think they canceled the outdoor watch parties. That sucks. They should let the have let the boys watch. It does suck. But on the other hand, Mitchell Robinson is gonna go nuclear with Trump courts side. That's like everything he's ever hoped for. It's gonna be an absolute scene. So Friday night to recap, Friday night we had another, uh, well, the first game, the next ended up winning convincingly. Friday night was a instant classic fourth quarter because we had the next looking like they were going to cruise to a two o'lead. The spurs come all the way back. And then in the last two minutes, I don't know if we should say, we're going to talk to Brian Winhorse that the moment was too big for the San Antonio Spurs because this is a storyline that they are the youngest team to be in the NBA finals and you have a core that is all under 25 years old and and when B's first trip, you know, first meaningful, first playoffs and he gets all the way to the finals. But the end of where uh, Victor Webbingyama tries to pass the ball to Steph Castle in transition and throws it off his back for a turnover for Brunson going to the free throw line hitting one and then Wembee who got a good look missing the uh final shot. Mm-hmm. It was tough. It was about as bad a last minute as you can possibly have for Wembeeimbee It was I playing so he choked. That was a big time choke at the end like He you got a look before you throw that pass It was a ill-advised pass to make and then out of frustration He just he commits a bad foul I I think Wimbee's to blame obviously for everything to happen at the end of this game. I think we should be fair.

Mitch Johnson should get some blame for the way these two games have gone.

Like, can you imagine pop losing these two games back to back? Pop did talk to the team after the first two games. So maybe he helped. But yes, I agree. I treated it in the moment. I thought Mitch Johnson not calling a time out there was crazy. They have one time out left. There's seven seconds left or whatever it was, ten seconds left.

It's a tie game.

I understand.

Transition is kinda how the spurs got back in the game.

They were attacking the hoop. have one time out left, there's seven seconds left or whatever it was, 10 seconds left. It's a tie game.

I understand transition is kind of how the spurs got back in the game. They were attacking the hoop. They were getting out fast. But you have you have you have 10 seconds left. Call time out. Call up your best play. If Brunson on the floor attacked Brunson, like the worst hat the thing that happens is you go to overtime. I just I just feel like that's a moment where it's like you have you know you got to know your personal

You got to know you got a young team call time out the worst hat the thing that happens is you go to overtime. Instead, I just, I just feel like that's a moment where it's like you have,

you know, you got to know your personal, you got to know you got a young team,

call time out, get your best play and you get a shot to potentially win without the risk of losing in regulation, which is what ended up happening. I was talking to our, our good friend, Mark Titus about this, but I've, I've noticed it more so from the thunder and a little bit from the spurs now.

The two for one at the end of the game. It's the right call.

Statistically the nerds have crunched all the numbers. You gotta get the two for one, get two shots when you can. But the shots that are being put up in the first half of the two for one, they are the rocks. They can be kind of ridiculous. And when you put up a bad shot, It also, I want to see what the numbers are, but I would assume that the likelihood of a fast break or getting like, you know, a numbers overload off that mist, off a bad mist and a long rebound are higher than if you get a normal shot that you run like a standard play that's not rushed. I would agree. And I think that sometimes if you put up, if you try super, super hard to make sure to get that two for one up, no matter what the cost is, that actually ends up hurting you a little bit. I think Wimby shot that he had the front half of the two for one was terrible. It was a rough shot. It was a very rough shot. And Wimby was bad in the first half again. You have to, we have, and this is all relative because I understand this is his first time in the NBA finals. 22 years old. He's a future physicist league if Scotty Barnes stopped playing basketball.

But that's part of like part of being the future Festus league is that you get the criticism when you are not dominant and this is your team in the first half he was not can we look he looked gas he looked off can he win the big one I do you hear afterwards? He said that he maybe celebrate a little too hard. You know, I don't think he was getting drunk, but maybe didn't move on quickly enough from the Western conference final. He also said that this is everything that I wished for, being down to nothing. Yeah, I have any opportunity to come back from that. I, when we talk to Winhorse, I wanna get, Because win horse, I don't know if you guys know, but he is the Wembee Whisp. He's one who found him. But yeah, I can't tell if part of me, like I think Wembee is ultra confident and why wouldn't you be if you're 75 freak. I also, the quote saying, this is everything that I wish for, so there's no reason to really overthink it. I mean, this is what I'm built for when talking about being down

O2 in the finals. It feels like he's almost like this is what I'm supposed to say if I'm going to be a Kobe MJ type of guy. I love being down. Yeah, yeah. To nothing. To nothing most dangerous lead in basketball. You know, it'd be great is that he didn't blow the first two games by not playing up to your satir.

Inbreast debate, would you rather be up to nothing or down to nothing in the NBA finals?
